Mateo Kovacic has now named the three Manchester City teammates he would take with him to a desert island.

The Croatia international spoke on the club’s official YouTube channel.

 

Which Manchester City teammate did Mateo Kovacic choose? We’ll take a look…

 

What is the problem? Well, Manchester City’s number 8 has only been at the Etihad Stadium since June, when he signed a transfer from Chelsea for 25 million pounds.

Kovacic, however, settled in quickly enough to choose three teammates with whom he would like to isolate himself on a desert island.

On YouTube, the 29-year-old said: “I’d rather go somewhere with my family! But if I had to choose teammates, obviously it would be like this. Josko (Gvardiol) is obviously the first, because we have known each other for a long time.

Ake certainly appears to be a popular figure at the Etihad Stadium as Kevin De Bruyne also named the £40m Dutchman as his closest teammate before Kovacic said he would take him to a desert island.

Kovacic helped Gvardiol at Manchester City

Kovacic has shown his class in 11 games for Manchester City so far, but he also plays a key role off the pitch for Gvardiol. In the pair’s YouTube chat, the £77.6million defender revealed his compatriot helped him adjust to life at the Etihad Stadium and was always by his side as he was adapting to his new environment accustomed to living in Manchester.

It’s easy to forget that Gvardiol is only 21 years old and it must have been difficult for someone so young to progress to a treble-winning team, with one of the most demanding managers at the helm. bar and also for such high transfer fees.

That’s why Kovacic has always played a key role in helping his fellow Croatians settle in, and Gvardiol’s improved performances suggest things are going well for his team during this period.
